Preview of the BMW ActiveHybrid... part 1 of 2.

A core part of the BMW ActiveHybrid technology system is that it allows for greater driving dynamics than a conventional hybrid car and at the same time meaningfully reduces fuel consumption. The technology will debut in the upcoming X6 ActiveHybrid and the Concept 7 Series ActiveHybrid, with other vehicles to follow. This week we'll feature the Concept X6, and for part 2 of this series, we'll bring you details on the Concept 7 Series Hybrid in our next post.

BMW will present a hybrid concept like no other in the world - the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid. The vehicle is the world's first Sports Activity Coupe to feature a unique design of hybrid drive combining the Ultimate Driving Machine with significant enhancement of all-round efficiency.Through its drive concept alone, the BMW Concept X6 ActiveHybrid allows far greater driving dynamics than a conventional hybrid car and at the same time reduces fuel consumption by up to 20 percent versus a comparable car running on a combustion engine alone.

The innovative drivetrain and the unique concept of the Sports Activity Coupe form an ideal match that is unparalleled anywhere in the world. BMW ActiveHybrid technology has indeed been developed especially for a particularly dynamic vehicle in this segment and for extensive use far beyond city traffic. In terms of its size, character and driving dynamics, the BMW X6 Sports Activity Coupe is simply ideal for bringing out the full potential of BMW ActiveHybrid technology, combining an elegant and dynamically flowing roofline with the features so typical of a BMW X model. Its design clearly epitomizes the full DNA of BMW X, while interpreting the character of these vehicles in a uniquely sporting manner.
